you can only add one .

Not counting current players in the system or in the upcoming draft.
Who is your 1 player you would add realisticly?

[Chainshot]

People's interpretation of "realistically" is going to be tested.

Mine would be Jonathan Bernier to shore up the net.

 

[Doug Prishpreed]

McDavid

 

[stokes84]

I mean, Tavares I guess? Any trades require caveats so I guess you'd just have to say the best UFA.

 

[Team Cozens]

Grubauer

 

[Kyndig]

We talking UFAs?

Grabner. Sick of watching slow ass wingers and Jack never having a true goal scoring winger (not counting volume shoot from everywhere I R put pucks towards net)

 

[Chainshot]

"Realistic"... and immediately to McDavid and Tavares. I love you guys.

 

[Aladyyn]

De Haan

 

[DolanPlsGoSabres]

"Realistic"... and immediately to McDavid and Tavares. I love you guys.

If JT and McDavid are realistic, then the possibility of inventing a time machine and grabbing prime Gretzky shouldn't be that out of reach.

 

[Ace]

A partner for Rasmus Dahlin

I don’t have a list but I’ll know him when I see him. I don’t want to do to him what we’ve done so often to Eichel and make him carry subpar partners and weigh him down.

 

[Doug Prishpreed]

"Realistic"... and immediately to McDavid and Tavares. I love you guys.

Hey, after landing Dahlin, the unrealistic has become realistic. I've learned to dream

 

[UnleashRasmus]

Cavlvin de Haan

 

[Ace]

Also any star forward on a Chia team is realistic.

 

[Doug Prishpreed]

De Haan

We arguably need a goalie and winger just as much, but I think De Haan would have the biggest impact on the team. Assuming we can eventually find a goalie somewhere.

 

[5 Minute Major]

Absolutely. Good goaltending can boost a teams confidence.

 

[Chainshot]

Absolutely. Good goaltending can boost a teams confidence.

Heck, at this point consistent goaltending -- even if it was simply average -- would be fine with me.

 

[Sabreality]

Enstrom

 

[Der Jaeger]

Whoever we are trading Bogosian for.

 

[Doug Prishpreed]

De Haan, Bernier, and Grabner will all be pretty cheap, relative to other UFAs. If they were willing to come to buffalo, I'd think you can get them for around $10 million, with De Haan being the only one who would need term.

CDH = $4.25m aav/4 yrs (assuming his shoulder injury suppresses demand a little)
Bernier = $3m aav/2 yrs
Grabner = $2.75m aav/2 yrs (assuming his poor playoff play suppresses demand a little)

 

[Doug Prishpreed]

Whoever we are trading Bogosian for.

Either buy him out or just assume he's on the 3rd pairing, in the pressbox, or on IR. I'm a dreamer but I have no hopes there is a trade out there for us.

 

[Ace]

The funny part about Bogo is that I get the impression he’d actually be one of the good guys in the room if he was every actually f***ing in it. He works hard and by all accounts is the most stand up guy...it’s just his hockey brain is a pee wee hockey brain on the ice and his body is made of whatever is weaker than balsa wood.

 

[Dingo44]

Also any star forward on a Chia team is realistic.

So what are we giving up for McDavid? Eichel + Mitts + Risto + 2019 first?

 

[kenfury]

DeHaan and it's not close. Another solid D fixes so many problems. It let's Risto go from 25 min to 22 min per game, let's Dahlin and Ghule ease into the NHL and doesnt force RoR to always play the toughest minutes. Also five less shots per game would be a boon to goaltender to between a half to a third of a goal per game.

 

[Ace]

So what are we giving up for McDavid? Eichel + Mitts + Risto + 2019 first?

Given his track record?

McCabe

 

[Reddawg]

We already got our realistic guy, I think Pilut is going to end up being a big add.
